Pregnancy test/ pregnant?

Hi all!

Im new here and would appreciate anyones input on this matter.

Im not sure if im pregnant. Im not sure when to test either. My periods are very irregular, ranging for 2 months – 6 months. My last period was March 2 ,2007 . Im feeling really tired and kind of crampy. I took a pregnancy test this morning and there was a very very faint 2nd line. Is this a positive reading? I know is should probably test again, but how long should I wait to do another test? and should i get a different brand (used first response)

I just find it hard to believe im pregnant with such drastically irregular periods. Not sure if that line is to light to be positive..

Well thank you all for your input. I know I will like it here!

a second line is a second line, congratulations on your little one. you can always test again to get a darker line a few days after the first. first response is very sensitive to small amounts of hcg, it doesn't really matter which brand, but i like first response and answer.

Congrats and baby dust

heya!
Okay so i was in the same position as you were, and i too took a first responce test. I actually ended up calling the hotline number on the side of the box. They told me that unless you are taking preg hormone pills a line is a line. And that it is infact a pregnancy positive. I personally took 6 tests that all recieved the same result. So you can test again, although its pretty unlikely that it will come out any different than the first result. Best of luck!

wait a few days and do the test first urine in the morning... the hormone is stronger than... but if you for sure saw a faint line.. a line is a line and i would think it would be positive! GL
